=== Industrial Design === ==== Product Development - AD363 ====
The Industrial Design department currently offers a course taught by an industry leading professional, Shawn Egan. He is an Industrial Designer working out of St. Louis, and has designed over 200 products throughout his career. By learning from an industry professional such as he, students learn real-time knowledge about the field, and how their career will function once they graduate. It is a symbiotic relationship between industry and the college, as both benefit by this. Students are better prepared for the industry, and businesses get to train and discover talents amongst young individuals.
==== IDSA Conference ====
The Industrial Design Society of America has annual conferences in St. Louis, Chicago, and other nearby cities. This society is a collection of leading professionals, insdustry participators, and students. It is a great opportunity for students to learn from individuals already in the field.
==== Design Days ==== Design days is a two-day event at SIUC that brings industry professionals in from the surrounding area to give their advice, give portfolio reviews, and network with the students of SIUC going to school for Industrial Design and Graphic Design. It is a great event that honors the alumni that come, and is a very valuable event for students and professionals alike. === Career Services === ==== Career Fair ====
Career Services hosts several career fairs throughout the year, connecting potential employers with students. In addition to campus-wide career fairs, Career Services also hosts additional college, departmental and industry-specific events throughout the academic year. The career fairs are great opportunities for employers, students, and alumni to network regarding possible position openings. The campus-wide fairs typically attract as many as 1,000 outstanding students from SIU Carbondale’s undergraduate and graduate programs.
==== '''Walk-up Resume Critiques ''' ====
